GENERAL GORDON'S PLANT.

General Gordon came up out of Georgia
to electioneer for the Democratic ticket in
Ohio. But General Gordon had just prior
to his advent been so unfortunate as to
make speech in Georgia lauding jeff
Davis to the skies. In that speech he
said; My brother soldiers, it is my inf
mite pleasure, in your behalf, to welcome
to this great State, and to the hearts of the
people, the grand old Chieftain. Voice
: Hurrah for JEFF Davis! God bless
him 1t is his good fortune, after an
eventful life filled with stormy scenes and
vicissitudes, to look back upon a career
without blot or stain-a life spent in
the service of his country and his coun-
try's liberty. Wherever he has
been it has been his fortune to wear the
white mantle of spotless integrity and ur-
blemished patriotism" The Generals effort,
therefore, in Ohio was heavily handicap
ped, and the Democracy was showed under
in the face of his labors, for long and
pAtbti "iibNl. IL was bOb Mlot III TIE
General to tell the Buckeyes about the
ignorance of the freedmen in Georgia, and
attribute their absence from the polls to
that cause. The people of Ohio know
better than that. If ignorance was dis
qualification, and restraint upon voting,
the Democracy would have hopeless
cause indeed. The General while in Ohio
repeated over and again that the peo-
pie of the North are building
wall along the southern border that
is to keep North and South socially apart.
Precisely what he meant is not clear, I'M
less he referred to the demand of freemen
at the North that freedmen at the South
shall be given their political rights. That
may, in Southern estimation, be deemed
an ofiense and equivalent to erecting
barrier on the Southern border. We think,
however, that we heard just such "talk'
years ago at the close of the war; but
though twenty-five years have swept by,
the North and South are not only not
farther apart, but are closer together and
are being, by commerce, industry and
mutual sympathies, indissolubly knit to-
gether. The Chicago Inter Ocean, referring
to this plant of General Gordons that we
are interfering with the South and en-
dangering unity of purpose and sentiment
in America, forcibly says: at is chest
nut and the profusion of sugar-coating
General Gordon applies to it does not hide
the worms. Nothing has happened that
has interfered with our fondness for the
watermelons Of Georgia, and we trust the
Ohio capital that has gone to that State in
enterprises that would serve the public
will prove to be well invested So it has
and will. Northern capital and industry
are doing more than all else to take the
snap and vinegar" out of Democratic
prating about endangering the cordial re-
lations between the North and the South.
They are unifying the sentiment of the
people of the North and the South, famil
iarizing them with each other, establishing
broader and better social conditions. and
RELOCATING the old South to the dead past.

CORRUPTION AND REFORM.
Referring to the jury-bribery trials in

Referring to the iurv-bribery trials in
San Francisco, the New York Star says:
They show the existence on the western
boundary of the republic of the same sort of
corruption in public life flourishes on the
Atlantic seaboard. A man named Creighton
was accused of bribing a jury and convicted,
though unfortunately he ran away before sen
tence could be imposed. The significant fea-
ture of the case is the fact that the jury-brber
was member of the State Senate, to which he
was elected. in the BHlletiR's words, " because
he had no qualifications for the Office and there
fore would be convenient tool of the ring that
desired TO use him" Naturally enough. under
such circumstances there was not a corrupt
scheme brought forward in the Legislature that
he could not DE counted on to support In
short. he was one of the class, so familiar to
New Workers, who make their living by politics,
having no trade or yUca' ion. but getting a sup
port through iobtcry, with hardly any attempt
ut eonce4lmeut. The problem of securing good
government in cities is thus seen to be che
which c;nfrOnts honest citizens with equal DIFF
ficulties in all pats of the country.
But while it is true that most corrrp-
ton is found in cities, and that the prob
lem of reform is grave and difficult one
everywhere in the land, it is also true that
San Francisco has proved equal to the con-
viction Of four jury bribers, and that en-
bracery is there SO hated by the people
that defendant under charge of bribery
asks for change of venue. He has no
reason TO believe that he cannot be fairly
tried because the people abhor the crime
laid at his door. Still it is matter to
justify generalization, that corruption in
the great metropolis of the coast is becom-
ing an object of assault by good citizens.
1t is entirely possible to rectify every
municipal evil here and on the Atlantic
